Adam Miller is such a nerd, but not unlike any of the characters Nelson Franklin has played over the years – characters like Robby in New Girl and Nick in The Office. Adam vs. Robby When I talked with Franklin, he told me he thinks Adam is really a split between Robby and Nick, with Robby shouldering the most similarities. “Robby’s a really nice guy that doesn’t have any social skills, really smart, but super nerdy. He doesn’t have any
SUBURGATORY has been having a great season – hilarious episodes that find George wading the post-Dallas-relationship waters, Tessa dealing with Ryan’s distance, an engagement and new little brother for Lisa. Dalia, meanwhile has been up to her old tricks – fighting Tessa at a beauty pageant for kids, funding a one way trip for Tessa to a third world country. And this week, she’s trying to get into college! I spent some time chatting with the woman behind Dalia, Carly
On the heels of the news that Chicago Fire will be renewed for a third season, I had the opportunity to speak with Jesse Spencer (Lt. Matthew Casey) just before he headed out the door for a well-deserved hiatus. Big Episodes Coming I asked Spencer if he’d tease for viewers just a bit about what they might expect in remaining episodes of the season. “There’s a really big episode coming up,” he teased. “I think it’s Episode 20 or 21.
Hilary Winston is a familiar name to TV fans like me – writer and Co-EP on COMMUNITY, writer for HAPPY ENDINGS (one of the best shows that ever was and ever will be), member of the writing staff on all four seasons of MY NAME IS EARL. The lady is, in a word, hilarious (maybe you also read her amazing book “My Boyfriend Wrote a Book About Me“). Tonight, she’s bringing her talents to CBS as show runner of their
Amir Arison plays Aram Mojtabai on The Blacklist, and he’s pretty excited about his character. Perhaps it’s because Aran is lot like Arison in real life. He says, “It’s not exactly like me, but in terms of other roles that I’ve done on television shows, I would say it’s the closest to my own persona in that I’m the guy that wants to do well at work, likes to have fun, but takes his work very seriously; likes to laugh,
Fans of Syfy’s BEING HUMAN have seen the show go on quite a journey- having to establish itself as a show that stood alone from the British show of the same name; get fans of old and familiar shows to fall in love with them (ps, we did); find a rhythm between actors who clearly loved spending time with each other; and ultimately, go out with a bang, creatively. The exciting 4th season that balanced love, humor, and a little
When VEEP first aired on two years ago, it quickly took a top spot on my favorite-comedies-of-all-time list (of all time is a long time, I realize this, but that’s how strongly I feel). Loved Season 1, didn’t ever want Season 2 to end, and I’m not counting down the days until Season 3 premieres. It’s finally here, this Sunday at 10:30/9:30c on HBO, and to celebrate, I spent some time chatting with Sufe Bradshaw about the Sue of it
Tuesday’s episode of NCIS: Los Angeles, now in its fifth season, promises a bit of excitement, to say the least, and I was recently fortunate enough to get the scoop firsthand from Daniela Ruah (Special Agent Kensi Blye). When we last left Kensi, she was still being held in a cave by the Taliban, and she had come face-to-face with former fiancé from nine years previous, Jack Simon (Matthew Del Negro). A remaining question in her mind was whether or
Renee Felice Smith plays Nell Jones on NCIS: Los Angeles, but Smith recently revealed to me that the two share more differences than similarities. Smith said, “Nell is kind of Renee times two, I guess I’d say. Where Renee’s brave, Nell is braver. She’s more of the take-the-bull-by-the-horns kind of gal. She’s one of a kind. She’s her own little brand. I’m not as organized as she is either. She’s super, super type A, and she’s got her act together.
Ever think of Eric Beale as a case’s key witness? That’s exactly what he is on this week’s episode of NCIS: Los Angeles. Beale’s not only the key witness, but he winds up in jail for all his trouble. Eric Beale a.k.a. Barrett Foa joined the team in the pilot of the series when it was introduced in Season Six of the ever-popular NCIS, in an episode entitled “Legend.” Foa was excited about the role from the start. When we
